(2008) Not Stupid: The Story of One Mother's Fight to Rescue the Lives of Her Children from Autism (Hardcover) by Anna Kennedy
"This book offers a vivid account of what it is like to live with the condition (autism)and
you don't have to be knowledgeable about autism to enjoy reading the book because it covers universal issues like parenting,education,marriage and enterprise.
Both boys were out of school for 3 years due to lack of provision, so out of pure
desperation my husband and I remortgaged our home and embarked on a dream of founding a special school for children aged 3 - 19 years with autism of which now 86
children attend.We also have developed a small College for adults and residential
home. My book 'Not Stupid' documents the inevitable stresses my husband and I had
in developing the school but there were laughs along the way."...Anna Kennedy
